EQUITY BYLAW UPDATES - NOVEMBER 2014 - MAY 2015
-----------------
Equity's Council encourages all members to be familiar with the rules
that govern membership in our Association. Electronic copies of the
current bylaws are always posted for review or download in the "Document
Library" section of EQUITYONLINE, and are available in print format upon
request to the Association.

At its meeting of October 27, 2014, Council approved the following bylaw
change:
Article 144 has been updated to send out electronic notice of any
amendments, and to bring the online bylaws up to date, within two weeks
of any change. In addition, printed notice of accumulated changes will
be sent out with the next available dues invoice, to ensure that members
who do not rely on electronic communication are also informed in the
timely manner.
-----------------
At its meeting of January 26, 2015, Council approved the following bylaw
change:
Article 91 has been updated to include "fight director" in the
categories of membership eligible for dues remission. This change
corrects an unintentional omission.
Article 91 now reads: Regular members at age sixty-five (65) for
performers, stage managers, directors, and choreographers and fight
directors, at age fifty-five (55) for opera singers and at age
forty-five (45) for ballet dancers, who have been regular members in
good standing for at least ten (10) years, will be eligible for
remission of basic dues but will continue to pay working dues.
Regular members of Equity in good standing for at least ten (10) years
who want to know more about dues remission eligibility are encouraged to
contact membership at caea.com.
